Gene: [01p36/ILA] interleukin-activated receptor, homolog of mouse Ly63; antigen CD137 (induced by lymphocyte activation; ILA); [CD137 Ly63 ]

COM

The CD137/ILA gene was localized to Chr 1p36 by somatic cell hybrid analysis (Schwarz-1997)."

FUN

CD137 inhibits proliferation of activated T lymphocytes and induces programmed cell death (Schwarz-1996)."

MOP

The CD137 gene encodes a 255-amino acid protein with 3 cysteine-rich motifs in the extracellular domain, a transmembrane region, and a short N-terminal cytoplasmic portion containing potential phosphorylation sites."

FAG

CD137 is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family (see GEM:12p13/TNFR1). Members of this receptor family and their structurally related ligands are important regulators of a wide variety of physiologic processes and play an important role in the regulation of immune responses. ILA is expressed by activated T- and B-lymphocytes and monocytes."
